Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC3225F86R6CS are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Resistance value: 86.6 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package format: 1210 (3225 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 rating

Secondary Consideration:

• Power rating may exceed the original specification (0.333W minimum requirement)

The identified substitute parts meet all primary matching criteria. Differences in power rating represent an upgrade path where higher power-rated components can functionally replace the original part in applications where thermal dissipation is not a limiting factor.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW121086R6FKEA (Vishay Dale) is the primary substitute option. This part maintains Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and availability. The component features AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing additional reliability assurance. The 0.5W power rating exceeds the original specification, offering thermal margin in applications where the RC3225F86R6CS operates. All electrical and thermal parameters align with the original part.

ERJ-14NF86R6U (Panasonic Electronic Components) is a secondary substitute option. While this part meets all electrical and thermal specifications and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, it carries a "Not For New Designs" product status designation. This classification indicates the manufacturer is phasing out this component line. Selection of this part should be limited to legacy system maintenance or where existing design validation has been completed.

For new design implementations, CRCW121086R6FKEA is the recommended substitute due to Active product status and continued manufacturer commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW121086R6FKEA replace RC3225F86R6CS in all applications?

A: Yes, within the constraints of your circuit design. Both parts share identical resistance value (86.6 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), package format (1210), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The CRCW121086R6FKEA has a higher power rating (0.5W vs. 0.333W), which represents a capability upgrade and does not create compatibility issues.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on ERJ-14NF86R6U?

A: This designation indicates Panasonic has discontinued active development and is transitioning this product line. While the part remains functionally equivalent and available in inventory, manufacturers typically reduce production and eventually discontinue such components. New designs should utilize parts with Active status to ensure long-term supply chain stability.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within acceptable tolerances. RC3225F86R6CS has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm), while both substitute parts specify 0.024" (0.60mm) and 0.028" (0.70mm) respectively. These variations fall within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect functional compatibility or mounting.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three parts are RoHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, and are REACH unaffected. The substitute parts additionally carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which represents an enhanced reliability specification beyond the original part's documentation.

Q: What packaging format should I specify for procurement?

A: RC3225F86R6CS is supplied in bulk packaging. Both substitute parts (CRCW121086R6FKEA and ERJ-14NF86R6U) are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly operations. Confirm your procurement and assembly process requirements before finalizing part selection.
